Ondoy in Cainta

My "coverage" of Typhoon Ondoy that ravaged our community here in Cainta can be found here, here and here.

Thanks to Iris and the others who texted to check up on me. My family and I are okay; we were able to secure most of our stuff in time and climb up to the second story of our house. Damages to our house and belongings are minimal. A lot of our neighbors weren't as fortunate.

Hope everyone else is alright.

Ondoy aftermath, Laguna side

Drowned Harvest, a photo essay by Chris Quintana.

typhoon Ondoy

Bagong Silangan evacuation center, Quezon City - In the middle of all the dead people, a mother tries to breastfeed her baby. In another corner, a group of kids while the time playing with one another. A grandmother weeps in desperation. She lost eight of her grandchildren. A father stares at his dead son in disbelief. There is a mad scramble for hot lugaw by the door. Bags of clothes are strewn grotesquely around. Candles for the dead are burning. The victims need all the help they can get.
